It featured a Bob Dylan song ("A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" on the former LP, "It Ain't Me Babe" on the latter) and a standard (the title track of ''These Foolish Things'', "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" on ''Another Time, Another Place'') but while ''These Foolish Things'' emphasized an early-'60s girl-group repertoire, ''Another Time, Another Place'' turned to soul music (Sam Cooke, Ike & Tina Turner) and country music (Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Joe South).

It Ain't Me Babe
"It Ain't Me Babe" is a song by Bob Dylan that originally appeared on his fourth album '' Another Side of Bob Dylan'', which was released in 1964 by Columbia Records.
